Downtown Alive! Returns Friday Night With Old School Street Party

Some of you may not remember the early days of Downtown Alive! before the stages were built at Parc Sans Souci and Parc International.

In the 1980s, the party was in the streets. And now, the live music event is heading back to its roots.

Downtown Alive! is returning for the spring season with a street party performance on Friday, March 11, 2022.

The season will kick-off with High Performance along with openers, the Daiquiri Queens.

The throwback version of DTA! will happen at the intersection of Vermilion and Jefferson streets.

As always, it's free to attend but food and drinks will be available for purchase. You can still bring your chairs, but please leave your ice chests and pets at home.

This is just the first of a great spring season. Here is the complete 2022 DTA! spring schedule:
